About Robert Tiernan

Hello friends and strangers. Short history: I was born and raised in and around the D.C. area, and started playing music during my early years with special and VERY musical friends. Endless explorations of music in dark basements in the middle of the night...Moved to Colorado right out of High School, then to LA and back and forth and to and fro and in and out...Right now I'm in a small town on the Northern California coast. After visiting from Colorado a couple of years ago, I decided to move here. The bands I was involved with in Colorado included WINDOWPANE, CACTUS MARCO, ACOUSTIFUXX, PHANTAZMORGASM, MIKE COLIN + FAMILY OF NOISE, LOUDMOUTH, SPLATTERHOUSE, MICHELLE AND BOOK OF RUNES, BASE 10, RASPUTIN, THE GOOD VIBES QUARTET, SPACE IS THE PLACE, and others too. I am now playing in a group called the JOINT CHIEFS (of Crescent City, CA), a band that does alot of improvising, jamming on riffs, and throwing in a cover tune or two when we feel it. Also doing guitar duets with my friend AL, mainly jazz. Al is a great guitarist and a joy to work with. Neither of these projects has recordings yet, but we will eventually. As for the past projects, there are quite a few. Soon I'm going to compile "best of" recordings of my work with Windowpane (heavy fusion), Good vibes Quartet (jazz and fusion), my work with Mike Colin + The Family Of Noise (experimentalrockambientpunkjazzetc), and maybe some stuff like one off recordings with various people I've worked with. Also working on a project of new stuff of my own, interspersed with recordings from my past, due out, well, we'll see when... Please stay tuned if interested... Some music for you all to listen to. "Shimmer Shiver Shine" is a new piece, backed by sequencer. "JAM 293" is just a jam on a short loop. "Cold Fusion (Chocolate Milk)" is from "The Bad Side Of The Good Vibes Quartet" CD circa 2000, Performed by GVQ, being Rick Weingarten-vibes, Bruce Crisman-drums, Tom S.-bass, and me on guitar and composition. I like all kinds of music and hopefully this small cross section of material will show that. PLEASE ENJOY! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NEW SONGS! FINALLY GOT SOME NEW STUFF ON HERE, INCLUDING ONE WITH VOCALS. Those who know me may be SHOCKED, but the lyrics came to me one day and I figured what the hell, might as well give it a shot. It sounds OK, but I am not really a vocalist so I hope you can deal with it. Backing track is a sequencer, guitar solo is, on one track, with a live reverse echo. Also, Float On Down, which is a lullaby written when I met one of my friends little girls, has unspoken lyrics, unspoken because the person who was supposed to sing it never did, and I couldn't pull THAT one off myself, and I just needed to finish it. Maybe some day she''ll find the time to sing it... As always, hope you enjoy...

StudMuffin C.E.O	Oct 2 2008 9:40 PM yo I hope life is good for you if you can come check my brand new music Phormeta Live at Bushwackers Oct. 10th 1976 s. Broadway! Solo set with some interesting twist yo.
Normal Ones	Sep 28 2008 8:43 PM Hey Bob! I must say that it is really fantastic to have found you again! You ROCK! Love from Norma Lones
PEKKANINI	Sep 28 2008 10:54 AM Thanks for adding me! Greetings from Sweden.
BRAVO	Sep 25 2008 10:01 PM Hey RT, Thanx, yah I think they're awesome too! I do whatever I can to help them. And sometimes when I need some band members, they fill in, and jam with the "old man" Just trying to keep them real and not get too full of themselves. You know music is long hard road, and it's easy to become distracted when you taste a little success. So, whether they listen to me or not, I always have alot to say!! Take care buddy, JB
The Altuistic Messiah	Sep 22 2008 3:19 AM Music is Living in Motion ! By conceptual design I've successfully incorporated an obscure semi-random artificially intelligent element of transitional potential throughout every applicable aspect of my artistic creativity. I am providing this optimal psychological communication, & therefore developing an ideal situational environment that will facilitate the sustained future transformational possibilities in relation to all of my musical compositions. This is truly a new revelation! I do this in order to allow the music to forever move forward , to refresh, to remain in transition, in perpetual motion, to organically grow, to become something that's always different from what it just was, to evolve beyond what it is now & to constantly change into what it eventually inevitably might someday become. I am bringing the music to life !!!!! Digital down loads of my debut CD are available NOW at the link directly below! http://www.cdfreedom.com/artists/thealtruisticmessiahbenvandagriff/catalog/theceoofrockroll.1/
pmc	Sep 14 2008 11:39 PM RRT! My comps,dead but the Orange amps are kicking! How's all on your side? And the Eastman? ;)
The Altuistic Messiah	Sep 13 2008 11:34 PM FOR THE FANS OF BEN VANDAGRIFF ~ THE ALTRUISTIC MESSIAH !!!!! HTTP://MUSICNATION.COM/MUSIC/THEALTRUISTIC Links 2 My Music BeAtZ HARD HITTERS Sushi Suckers A Glimpse ©2004-2008 a" rights reserved The Altruistic M The Altruistic Messiah I love you ~ I love everything ~ & I wi" never deny you !!!!! Welcome , Somehow I've managed to learn a lot about myself, & others, in addition to the Internet, social networking, how to google words I was trying to spell, how to type, and most importantly of all ~ how to communicate by listening to what others were trying to say, and how to play a little nicer with the people I'd never met. This has been a very positive experience for me, and I want to thank everyone especially you ! AFTER ONLY 30 YEARS I AM A SIGNED RECORDING ARTIST ~ NOW ON MOIKO RECORDS Today it is common knowledge that by working together for the greater good of everyone involved in a collective, we then can create the greatest individual strides, and that it is more than merely coincidental that the very nature of any mutually benefiting situation is the best way to achieve individual goals, as success breeds more success. The common sense of a commonwealth is self evident in every modern business model, from manufacturing to concern for the environment.
Vampiress of Metal	Sep 6 2008 5:51 PM Hope your weekend is rockin!
Ben Vandagriff a.k.a. The Altruistic Messiah	Sep 5 2008 4:35 PM So here is todays spin on statistical analysis ~ It's been said there is no way to beat a game with a negative expectation in the long run ~ so my advice is to hit it hard , and if you happen to be on the positive side after that initial roll of the dice , and that would be what I'd consider as being kinda lucky , quit while your ahead ! I have spoken to the highest authority on this voting matter and this is how it seems to break down ~ at least as I understand it at this time ! Only the votes for me count. ø ¬∫ (that's my Picasso smiley)
